What Kernel do you guys recommend for my requirements:
1) Good Preformance
2) Good Usage time
3) Good Stand By Time
4) The heat on the back won't be EXTERMELY hot..
Any suggestions.. Thanks in advance!

Which kernels have you tried so far?

Neo/Matrix kernel and PSX ROM, personally

I haven't really tried any.. I'm rather ask and get a more accurate opinion from other people.

every device reacts to every kernel differently, what works perfectly for one may not work at all for someone else. plus we all have different ideas at what is perfect. the only way to find out how good it is with your phone is to try them all. all the kernels here are good, there are no bad kernels in the nexus 4 xda threads. it takes seconds to flash a kernel. thats the only way that you will find the perfect kernel for your device. dont rely on someone elses opinion on which is best. its like asking what the best color is, there is no best, theres only whats best for you.
the reason that you dont see other best kernel threads here on xda is because they are not allowed, and they get closed/removed. they eventually start fights, because everyone thinks that the kernel that they use is the best.

I am currently on BOCA MSI (v9) which is giving me the best battery life I have ever had on GB (Better than Stock or Overcome and a few others I tried). Even verclocked at 1.4 Ghz
Now I am dreaming to switch to ICS... Obviously the first ROMs out were not really optimized for battery life, and battery life seemed terrible. But I wonder where the present ROMs stand and how hey compare to each other
I don't mind too much having a bit less performance than with BOCA (which is amazing), however I would just hate having a shorter battery life
Anybody can share their experience with AOKP and CM9? With which kernel ?
(Just anticipating some flames: obviously I could try them but I'd love to leverage on the forum and people's experience before making the jump to MTD partitions and wipe my whole install)
Thanks in advance
Not very popular question i seems
Every phone is used differently so its hard to compare ROMs. Try it yourself. Make a backup and flash some ROMs and see which one suits you best.

1. This is not very useful... As I said I don't really have the time and I was trying to leverage on people's experience (After all this forum is meant for that
2. Even if every phone is used differently you still get valuable information from people trying 2 ROMs and coming with their own feeling about which one gives them better battery life

No it isnt and if you had bothered to search you would know tha these type of "best rom" thread are frowned upon for many reasons, The most obvious being that "best" is subjective and also depends on your specific hardware as power consumption is different from device to device. It also depends on software and configuration you use.
If you want the answer to this question then dont ask here, instead try some roms and find what is "best" for you not us.

Just curious. I have about decided that Paranoid Android is going to be my rom of choice for my Nexus 7. Looking to see what kernel everyone is running and which one they think is best.
I've been using trinity for a few days with that paranoid and it has been working brilliantly, the battery life is excellent, very quick, and any instability I can definitely credit towards my inexperienced tinkering
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
You can use the Franco Kernel, or otherwise (my favourite) Faux ES Kernel!
Careful with faux123 014b1/014b1es kernels

I also love faux123 kernels, especially 013m (or 013es if battery life is an issue). USB OTG charging works if enabled in FauxClock, very stable.However, 014b1/b1es freezes if Bluetooth is enabled and BT device connects.
Hope it helps.
Running M-Kernel - a29 here. Been trying out a few for the past couple days. Best advice I can give you: play with each one for a while and makes some notes of how your device feels with each kernel.

Your title will make you become a good prey for trolling or noone gonna answer. It's very subjective to tell which ROM or kernel to be the best, and the ROMs and kenels in this 4rum are updated day by day. You can try and decide by yourself.
BUt I know your concern, I used to ask myself and everyone the same question. Hence I'll give you my review for stock ROM + FrancoKernel. These two gives me more than 4 hours onscreen + wifi (sometimes off) + sync (contact, gmail). I also UV 150mV to reduce the heat (at least that's what i am thinking). Heat? 20mins with NFS MW, my phone reaches 47celcius. 45 min -> 55celcius (it's not fixed).
Try them all and see what's best for your needs. Many roms and kernels out there.

OP as stated, only you can determine what is best for your device and you....just test the Development that is going on, there are to many variables involved to base your thoughts off others comments, usage & apps so on....ensure you do some reading and homework on your choice, Thank You.
I would Like to my nexus 4 with a rom that will boost my battery life, give me a bit more customization in my settings and, most important, is stable. Also if there is a particular rom/kernel combo that would work better thats cool too. I just got my N4 a couple days ago. I'm switching from a galaxy note 2 that had some hardware issues (long story). I like this phone other than I feel like its a baby switching from my giant phone. I appriciate any help.
Thanks

you have to try out all the different roms and kernels, find what fits best for you and your phone. there is no one magic rom. nor is there a rom that fits everyones needs. take some time, experiment a bit, the end result will be your perfect rom.

not true, its the best for you. just as i can say trinity kernel is the best.
Like simms said, the best would be to try as many ROMs as you can, or until you find the one that suits you the best. It takes some time, but it's worth it when you actually find that One that suits you.

I honestly do not understand such a mentality.
It takes a long time and a lot of work to try out all these roms on the forums, it should be understandable that many people would rather just ask the community for opinions, surely you are right that each of us have different preferences, but we can contribute our own opinions so the OP would at least have somewhere to start.
Personally I`ve tried a lot of roms, and ended up sticking with rasbeanjelly because it`s the fastest and most stable for me, saberMod was also good but i prefer rasbeanjelly`s blue theme. I`ve spent some time with PA and other feature rich roms, but the initial attraction quickly fades and they do become boring and irritatingly slow compared to the cleaner, less bloated roms.
as of kernel I`m using Franco atm, my phone dislike the newer trinity releases but many older trinity versions were really good, but for me franco is the best right now.

And this is precisely why these types of questions are redundant. They're like asking 'what's the best colour' or 'what's the best type of food'. All you've done is given a bunch of opinions which are in no way provable and if I disagreed with every one of them then your post would be invalid. For example, your point that feature rich ROMs become slow after a while is simply wrong, I've been using PA for 2 months and it's been fast and stable for all of this time, and I have no reason to get bored with it. Also imagine that you were a dev. You've put in hours of work to produce a ROM for FREE and release it for people to enjoy. Is it fair that people would suddenly start saying that your work isn't good to new users, on a public forum for everyone to see? No.
Hi guys we have loads of Roms for our nexus 4 and i am fairly new to this device and dont know whats best to go for.
My question is..I am wanting a rom that's close to stock but modded for better battery and i dont need it all flashy if that makes sense..
I have had a good look through the threads choose and running purity at the moment and its a nice rom but battery is not great and i do not have a good mobile signal yet my signal is well strong on other devices in the same place.? (my house) three network UK
any pointers?
cheers

theres no best rom, only the best rom thats good for you. try out a bunch, find what you and your device likes. also, if looking for battery life, try out a bunch of different kernels. eventually youll find the combination thats perfect for you.

Sabermod by @sparksco is amazing. Close to stock with just the right amount of tweaks. No useless features or mods. I like minimal Roms, im not a big fan of sacrificing performance and stability for useless features. Its compiled with linaro toolchain so its very fast, and battery life is amazing as well ( i get 5.5 hours screen on time, and 2 days of moderate to heavy use. Just idling the phone will last 5 days). Comes bundled with a really good kernel as well. Give it a try.

For the biggest gain in batterylife you could try flashing a custom kernel and possibly underclock or undervolt it, this also decreases heating. The radio is responsible for mobile connections. You could try flashing a different radio to improve the signal from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2087227. Myself i`am running stock 4.2.2 rom and Franco kernel and am very happy with it. there are other kernels that are also very good. Best is to try them out yourself.

I think Franco is great for both performance and batterylife and off course color and sound control. But thats my preference, other users like other kernels better.
Each Rom will react differently on each device. The only way to find out what works best for you is to try them out on your own.
